Isle of Mull is a cheddar like no other. In the early '80s, the Reade family followed their dream of moving to Scotland from Somerset. Hard graft and a keen belief in sustainability have developed Scriob Ruadh Farm and Isle of Mull Cheddar into what it has become today. The family solved the challenges of long damp island winters by feeding their heard with waste fermented grain from a local distillery, which lends to the cheeses its distinctive boozy flavour and rich, almost beef stock-esque notes.

Your cheese will arrive wrapped in speciality cheese paper and we recommend you refrigerate it as soon as it arrives. We recommend using your cheese within five days of purchase, however, many cheeses will last far longer. To serve, take your cheese out of the fridge, unwrap, and let it come to room temperature before serving (about an hour). To see more about taking care of cheese click here.

Isle of Mull Cheese is the last remaining traditional farmhouse cheese from the Hebridean Islands from the only dairy farm on the island. All of their cheese is made with unpasteurized milk from their hardy, healthy, island cows fed on grass and whisky grains from the Tobermory Distillery. By having complete control over the milk’s production and care, they are able to ensure that at all times it gets the respect it deserves. They strive to keep their cheese as natural as possible, not even adding colouring (commonly used in cheese making).
